The presidency and the executive are in crisis. The power struggle between Nano and Meidani continues . He announced last night only half of Nano's appointments. Bllokaj, Dade and Shehu are still ministers. Only Ceka has left. Hoxha, Rama and others have had changes at the prime minister's office but not at the President's. The PD denounces the killing of Bujar Suli. The communist clique continues the platform of the physical liquidation of political opponents. State tension is killing citizens. In this road, in this neighborhood, only the old mechanism is at work: one like crime, but also the propaganda machine that will justify the crime. A wonder that is happening to Albania and Albanians. If it were true that there were people in government with a thirst for power and blood, as is proclaimed, then that government should have been dismissed long ago and not renewed by taking on even more frightening forms. The truth is that the president and the prime minister continue to hold the country hostage for political interests. The burden has gone too far and the country is slipping into the abyss. The voices of citizens and the opposition are not being heard. This reality is made even more dramatic by fear, insecurity and the inability to emerge from the political and institutional crisis that has gripped the country. This insecurity is also illustrated by the institutional silence in the face of murders and tension. ON PAGE 3 In this neighborhood, Bujar Suli (left) and the waterworks employee of Krumë, Safet Gashi, were killed [?]

Not only the last in the different places around the world has been stirred at times with group meetings in different countries [language?] because this government, which has taken on the governance of the country, has shown complete inability to pull Albania out of the severe economic, social and political crisis in which it has been engulfed. This is not the first time that Kosovo and other Albanians are following with concern the dramatic developments that have shaken Albania and the region. In all cases, Albanians have expressed their conviction that only a change of this government can open the way to the stabilization of the country. This government has failed to maintain order, to ensure the safety of citizens' lives, in the market economy and in political dialogue. Instead, it has produced tension, conflict and insecurity. This situation has brought harsh reactions not only in Albania but also in the region. ON PAGE 3
